The Long Haul...

This is the month of September...  there are 23 games left in the 2008 White Sox season.  As of this afternoon, after a 4-2 victory in Cleveland, the Sox own a .5 game lead over the Twins.  They lost last night just like the Sox.  All in all, it seems like nobody seems very in to winning the AL Central and making the post-season.  Maybe all the Sox players just feel like the Cubs should get their shot and that two teams in the playoffs from one city would be "too much."  Or maybe they are just too involved or interested in the CalebHainey story... to worry about the post-season.  They may just have hurt hands or backs, but lets be honest, when you want to win you just play right through it.  But maybe the team has been influenced by the biggest pussy in MLB history   Tightness in my back!  I mean really...  everyone knows how you get tightness in your back!

Anyway...  here is how I see the season ending up!

We take 2 out of three from the Angels, split with Toronto and sweep Detroit going 7-3 on homestand.  Meanwhile, I see the Twins being swept by Toronto and dropping 2 of 3 in Baltimore as well as sweeping Detroit  and taking 2 of 3 from KC at home.  That puts them at 6-4 over the same time period which puts the Sox up 1 by their 7 game road trip to New York and KC.  They will sweep both of these series while Minnesota will take 2 of 3 in Cleveland but get swept by Tampa Bay.  This puts the Sox up 6 games with 6 to play.  The Sox will get swept by Minnesota at the Dome only to take 1of three from the Tribe at home and clinch the AL Central title on the last day of the season... as the Twins sweep KC at home and finish one game back!

Got it?  Good!  Now go watch.
